DA: Prep school counselor promised teen Harvard admission for sex

MALVERN, PA -- A guidance counselor at a prestigious private school in Chester County is accused of pursing a teen student for sex, even promising him admission to Harvard University in an effort to coerce him.

Emily Feeney, 40, of Wayne, Pa., was a swim coach and Director of College Counseling at Malvern Prep for two years. She has since been fired, District Attorney Tom Hogan said.

The investigation began on May 13th following a tip.

The teen victim told investigators that Feeney, his coach and guidance counselor, had been sending him inappropriate emails and text messages since 2014, when he was 16 years old.

The messages included a topless photo and other pictures of herself in various stages of undress, the D.A.'s office said. She also allegedly sent such messages such as "I adore you - always have, always will."
